Since Mr. Debko82 was kind enough to stop by the Microsoft Board I will defend what he is saying. If I am saying it, I am 100% positive.
Microsoft & Sphere did a 3 year deal. That involved Glassware 2.0 using what is called Windows Embedded. The current use is in Education and this will get deleted if I name names. A really big name that left Microsoft and returned just happens to be leading a development team and Education may, might, could be the name of that game that maybe has not received any press yet. Maybe a connection, maybe not.
However, later this year another use starts between the two companies and it does involve "CONTAINERS". Glassware 2.0 is a proprietary platform and it does virtualize applications but without the need for a virtualized desktop. I can't go line by line in all the things you said are not there buy it includes a micro Hypervisor called Microvisor and it differs from the rest of the junk because you do not need another visitor OS for the applications to fire. Glassware does include Containers or Microsoft would have said don't let the door hit you in the can I think.
Trust me pal Debko82 has the general idea correct on very complex things that the PATENT you read does not have to indicate. Sometimes these bosses file more than 1 patent you know. Actually some places file them all day long for every thing the developers do. I have heard developers say that maybe that is the only reason we are asked to do anything and it may not ever be used. They take the developers stuff and just file random patents all day long in case something comes up in the future. It is a cluster .....
The deal between Microsoft is PUBLIC INFORMATION. Now you have two technologies companies not 1. That makes even more you are not aware of. Lot's of luck reading Microsoft Patents. Better hire 3000 people to help
